Gilbert child porn distributor admits to sex with minors

GILBERT, Ariz. -- (KNXV) -- A Gilbert man arrested for distributing child pornography reportedly admitted to having sex with minors on multiple occasions.

On May 30, Special Agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security raided a home in Gilbert, near Val Vista Drive and Baseline Road.

Agents were serving a warrant based on evidence that allegedly showed that 24-year-old Paul Frederick Jordan was distributing child porn.

Federal agents accuse Jordan of distributing nine photos and videos of child pornography through the Kik messenger application.

Upon his arrest, Jordan allegedly also admitted to investigators that he has been using the mobile app Grindr to meet 16-year-old males. He detailed "multiple encounters" when he invited the boys to his home for sex.

Investigators also say Jordan made statements saying he had sexual contact with a girl, under seven about a year ago, in a house in Laveen.

Jordan is being held on a $75,000 bond on multiple counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
